RE: Warren McCleskey v. Ralph Kemp, Civil Action No.

Dear Judge Forrester: 

I am writing to advise you of the entry of the order by Judge 
Vining in the case of Bernard Depree v. Lanson Newsome, 
allowing the Respondent in that case to take the deposition of 
Offie Gene Evans. As you know, Mr. Depree is the codefendant 
of Mr. McCleskey. This is simply for your information in 
consideration of our motion for relief from judgment previously 
filed in the above-styled case. I also want to confirm what I 
had advised your office by telephone, that is, that the 
Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals stayed the briefing schedule 
in the case pending your disposition of our motion. 

  

Thank you for your consideration in this matter. 

Sincerely,

United States Court of Appeals 
Eleventh Circuit 
56 Forsyth Street, N. W. 
Atlanta, Georgia 30303 

RE: Warren McCleskey v. Ralph Kemp, No. 88-8085 
  

Dear Mr. Davidson: 

Pursuant to your telephonic request, I am submitting the 
instant status report regarding the above-styled case. As you 
will recall, the Court stayed the briefing schedule on appeal 
pending the resolution of a motion for relief from final 
judgment pursuant to rule 60(b), to be filed in the United 
States District Court. Counsel for Ralph Kemp filed said 
motion in the District Court on or about May 6, 1988. Since 
that time, various pleadings have been filed in the District 
Court. That court allowed discovery to be taken for the 
purposes of examining the Rule 60(b) motion. Various 
interrogatories were responded to and the deposition was taken 
of Offie Evans, the witness in question. Counsel for McCleskey 
has also filed a motion to expand the record in the District 
Court. 

Recently, the District Court contacted counsel and inquired as 
to whether counsel needed either argument or an evidentary 
hearing on the motion itself and counsel advised such was not 
necessary. Thus, both parties are simply awaiting a ruling 
from the District Court on the Rule 60(b) motion and the 
various other pleadings filed in conjunction therewith. 

 



  

Mr. Matt Davidson 
November 17, 1988

I hope this is responsive to your request.
